ABSTRACT

Five samples each of Ogi, Ogiri, Ugba and Fermented Yoghurt were collected from different sites at Ahiaeke in Abia State, from which forty-eight organisms were isolated using spread plate method and belong to four genera and six species: Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactococcus lactis, Leuconostoc mesentroides, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus sakei. Agar well diffusion method was used to test the isolated lactic acid bacteria on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi. The lactic acid bacterial were found to exhibit antibacterial activity against the pathogenic food organisms. The inhibition diameter obtained ranged between 6mm to 28mm. the highest inhibition was obtained from Lactobacillus sakei against Escherichia coli (28mm) and the smallest inhibition was obtained with Streptococcus thermophilus against Salmonella typhi (6mm), and no inhibition obtained with Streptococcus thermophilus against Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activity is attributed to bacteriocin, hydrogen peroxide, hypothiocyanate, lactic acid and fatty acid. Lactic acid bacterial have potential application for assuring and improving food quality and safety.
